T.I. & Tiny’s Attorney Releases Statement After Additional Sexual Assault Allegations Surface
Since late January, T.I. and Tiny have faced sexual abuse allegations by dozens of women. This is after their long-time friend, Sabrina Peterson, came out and detailed her alleged history of abuse by the power couple. Peterson even accused T.I. of pointing a gun at her at one point. As of now though, there are still no charges on the table for T.I. and Tiny despite the myriad of accusations placed against them over the last two months.
T.I. & Tiny Face Three More Accusers
Three more women have since come out against T.I. and Tiny with their claims of sexual abuse by them. They ended up hiring attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, as he represents other victims with their accusations against the couple as well. One was 20-years-old at the time as she says that she was forced to swallow a pill.
“[Tiny] undressed her and proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse,” via Blackburn in a statement via Page Six. “She said her body was numb, the room was slowing down, and she could not consent.”
T.I. And Tiny’s Attorney Responds
In the midst of these latest accusations, T.I. and Tiny‘s attorney, Steve Sadow, has since released a statement on behalf the couple. The two stoll deny everything and want the accusers to reveal themselves.
“The Harrises are still waiting for the accusers to reveal themselves publicly,” Sadow said to Billboard. “By continuing to hide behind anonymous allegations, the unnamed accusers effectively render themselves not credible and unworthy of belief. We say: Let the light shine on their identities so we can go about disproving these scurrilous accusations.”
T.I. And Tiny Were Sued For Defamation By Sabrina Peterson
In addition to these accusers, Sabrina Peterson has since taken legal action against T.I. and Tiny. Last month, she filed a defamation lawsuit against the couple. She believes their social media posts and public statements about her have been damaging her name.
“These allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media,” said Attorney Sadow in response to TMZ. He also said that T.I. and Tiny “implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system.””
TV And Film Ventures Have Also Appeared To Have Been Impacted
Since all of the sexual abuse allegations started in late January, the couple has taken a hit in regards to TV and film. “T.I. and Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” has since halted production. T.I. also won’t be in the upcoming third installment of the “Ant-Man” film series. It hasn’t been revealed if the accusations were the actual causes of these moves being made but it all but seems like it based on the timing of everything that’s happened so far.
